(WLS) --
A 6-year-old boy was killed in an apparent accidental shooting in the western suburbs just months after his mother was killed in a shooting on a Chicago expressway.
Michael Cattron had been living in unincorporated Villa Park since his mother was shot to death in the city's Englewood neighborhood last summer. He had reportedly been watching cartoons Friday night when he somehow came in contact with a gun in the basement. It is unclear whether he or one of the other children in the room fired the weapon, but police say the shooting appears to have been accidental.Posted By Ghost
